Weekend Special Events April 5-8, 2013
Georgia DOT To Accommodate Spring Break and Sports Events Traffic By Limiting Construction Lane Closures
On Final Four and Braves Baseball weekend, Metro Atlanta interstates will have limited lane closures from midnight, Friday, April 5, until 5 a.m., Tuesday, April 9, with closures also limited on surface streets in the vicinity of the Georgia Dome, principal venue for the basketball tournament games and associated activities.
Limited Georgia interstate lane closures will be in place the following weekend - April 13 & 14 - as weary and sunburned spring breakers make their way home or back to campus.
Traffic is expected to be heavy throughout the state during this entire period. The Department reminds travelers to exercise caution as crews may be still be working in proximity to highways and safety concerns may require long-term lane closures to remain in place. Also, incident management or emergency, maintenance-related lane closures could become necessary at any time on any route.
BRAVES OPENING WEEKEND
Atlanta will be hosting several very large events throughout the weekend of April 5th - 7th. Traffic in the downtown Atlanta area and on the downtown interstate highways will be extremely heavy at times. Braves fans planning to attend the Cubs series (April 5th - 7th) should purchase their parking in advance and plan to arrive early. All ballpark gates will open two and a half (2 ½) hours prior to game time on Friday, April 5th and Saturday, April 6th. As we expect our lots to be in "PERMIT ONLY" status for these games those who do not purchase advance parking are STRONGLY encouraged to take MARTA. The MARTA Braves shuttle begins its run 90 minutes prior to game time until one hour after the last out. For those fans who may want to arrive at the ballpark before the MARTA Braves shuttle begins its game operation MARTA recommends catching any one of three other available bus routes - the #32, the # 49 or the # 55. All three bus lines may be caught at the Five Points MARTA station and all three routes stop at points adjacent (i.e., Hank Aaron Drive, Pollard Blvd) to Turner Field.
